About

This is a blog on issues relating to liberty in the UK - mainly an attempt to put into some sort of context the articles that appear in the media.

Why UK Liberty and not UK Democracy?

To me, liberty is more important than democracy.  Democracy may help preserve liberty - at other times, as you will see from this blog, it does not.  Liberty, not democracy, should be our ultimate aspiration.

Now, this is not a one-stop shop and I am not a legal expert. In fact, I’m not expert in anything. I will however try to substantiate my claims.  If you think I have not done so, please say so.

So, do not take my word for anything. Click through the links. Make up your own mind.

It is likely to appear that most articles criticise the Government and its proposals, because it is the Government, under our constitution, that proposes most new legislation, and most of the Parliamentary time available for debate is spent on Government Bills, not because I have any particular dislike of the Government.  I currently don’t support any political parties.

Comments are very welcome indeed, but unfortunately they have to be moderated in order to stop ‘comment spam’. This means that it may be some time (hopefully no more than a few hours) before your comment is approved to appear on the blog.  I will only moderate spam and abusive comments.

Many thanks for your interest and I hope you find something useful/interesting/entertaining!
